Collector Cruiser

The Collector Cruiser is seen in the opening scene of Mass Effect 2 and is also visited and explored later in Mass Effect 2. This vehicle is massive and has a large capacity to carry many enemies including: husks, Collectors, abominations, scions, praetorians, and seeker swarms. This vessel is also capable of gathering and holding tons of humans. This ship is much larger than any other ship in the galaxy. It is made by Collector technology and design. It is engineered to be organic, yet consists of a metal structure system. The ship is very strong and can survive the tranist through the Omega 4 Relay without damage. The structure of the vessel is similar to a hive in that it has many open areas and crevices. These cruisers are armed with large particle beams, that are capable of tearing ships apart (just as it tore apart the SSV Normandy SR-1). The weapon is able to desimate any barrier a ship has and can fire in rapid succession. This vessel can also detect stealth vechicles, such as the Normandy SR-2.

Toward the end of Mass Effect 2, Joker pilots the Normandy SR-2 against a Collector Cruiser, either destroying it or causing it irreversible damage depending on whether or not you decided to upgrade the Normandy SR-2 with better weapons.
